Does Your Organization Have Wellness Fatigue?   

If so, it's probably justified. The vast majority of all wellness programs consistently under-perform.
 

 From the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as Health Care Reform), to your benefits provider, to requests from your employees, to your understanding that the need is real and timely, and all the way down the chain to the information you receive on a regular basis from organizations offering the next brightest and best answer to wellness (we're excluding ourselves from this group for right now), the need for a sustainable wellness solution routinely dogs you. And, there's a very good reason why.

If you feel bombarded by conflicting wellness messages, and are frustrated in your efforts to make the right choice, let us offer a few questions that we hope will make the process a smoother one.

1. If you've tried a wellness program before, was it successful? Did it engage at least 65 percent of your employees? If the answer is yes, the next question is, what made it work? If the answer is no, the next question is why didn't it work?

2. Are you looking for something more than the many inert on-line programs, where your employees fill-out forms, log-in with privileged access to wellness topics and then passively answer wellness questions?

3. Are you looking for a program that actively engages your employees in a hands-on / high-touch process?

4. Are you looking for a long-term, sustainable program that reflects your organization's values?

5. Are you looking for nuts and bolts or bells and whistles?

6. Does the program you're considering focus on processes or outcomes?

7. Does the program you're considering engage your high risk employees or does it appeal mostly to those employees who have already embraced wellness?

We know having too many choices is not necessarily a good thing . . . it can in fact be numbing. With so many wellness choices it's easy to just set wellness aside rather than decide on one program over another. That's what fatigue does -- you find yourself just too tired of it all to even think about it. And, that's not a good answer for any of us.
